History

During the journey to school on the Hogwarts Express in September 1993, a student was trying to read this book, but was unable to concentrate due to the noise others were making around them. He convinced the other students to move to another compartment and then locked the door after them, but he lost the book in the process. He asked Harry Potter, Ron Weasley, and Hermione Granger, who were passing through the train to try and find an empty compartment, to find and return this book to him. In exchange, he unlocked the door to the next compartment for them.[3]

In February 1994, Hermione Granger was trying to read the book when her friends were throwing a party in Gryffindor Tower. Harry Potter was trying to get her to put it down and join in, but she was hysterical because she had hundreds of pages to get through before her next lesson for Muggle Studies in two days. She had taken too many lessons using a Time-Turner and was finding it difficult to keep up with her workload.[2]
